FAITH

"You can do very little with faith, but you can do nothing without it." -- Samuel Butler

"Material success may result in the accumulation of possessions; but only spiritual success will enable you to enjoy them." -- Nido Qubein

"Fear of failure and fear of the unknown are always defeated by faith. Having faith in yourself, in the process of change, and in the new direction that change sets will reveal your own inner core of steel." -- Georgette Mosbacher

"The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today; Let us move forward with strong and active faith." -- Franklin D. Roosevelt

OPENNESS

If all hearts were open and all desires known--as they would be if people showed their souls--how many gapings, sighings, clenched fists, knotted brows, broad grins, and red eyes should we see in the market-place!

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928)
Novelist and poet


A broken heart is an open heart.

Hi,

Moving forward with strong and active faith. 

Thanks for sharing.  A good, encouraging concept to grasp.

So, how do you do that?

Giving an on the spot answer to my own question, I say by...

1.  Affirming my own values and what I stand for as my first step in the beginning of whatever journey I'm taking at the time.
2.  Bringing my needs and requests to God.
3.  Seeking wise help from those who complement my faith base.
4.  Making the best decision possible.
5.  Releasing the results to God
6.  Trusting and moving forward from that point.

That's my two cents worth,

Lee
